Denshi Sentai Denziman (電子戦隊デンジマン Denshi Sentai Denjiman?, ) is Toei's fourth entry to its Super Sentai series. It was broadcast from February 2, 1980 to January 31, 1981. The title given to this series for international distribution by Toei is Denziman, Electric Fighters.
3000 years ago, the Vader Clan devastated the planet Denzi. Denziland, an island from Denzi, landed on Earth. In modern times, the computer of Denziland awoke the Denzidog IC when it detected the Vader Clan approaching Earth. IC found five young people (who may or may not be descendants of the Denzi people) to become the Denzimen in order to defend Earth, the Vader Clan's next target.
The Denzimen are the first Super Sentai team to use a personal transformation device carried on their person (see below). Their costumes are the first to use helmets with translucent materials for visors (although some exterior footage shows their helmets with perforated visors as was the practice with previous Super Sentai series). Prior to battle, the team shouts "Behold, the Denshi Sentai, Denziman!"
The Surnames of the members contain the kanji for their corresponding colors.
The Vader Clan (ベーダー一族 Bēdā Ichizoku?) are invaders from another dimension with warped (to us) concepts of outer beauty. They intend to pollute and corrupt the Earth and its inhabitants to fit its unusual aesthetic.
The movie version of Denshi Sentai Denziman premiered during the Toei Manga Matsuri film festival on July 12, 1980, the same day episode 24 aired. The character of Princess Denzi makes her first appearance in this movie and is referenced in two later episodes of the series (26, 45), placing the events of this movie sometime before Episode 26.
Denshi Sentai Denziman was the first super sentai series being broadcast in Thailand. The series was aired on Channel 7 and proved to be very popular amongst viewers which led to more broadcasts of super sentai series later in the country. Denziman was also broadcast dubbed in Italy, in some regional channels
